Mr. Jason Rylander

Jason Rylander has been praised by the Washington Post for his “strong, clear tenor” and for performances that “coupled sonorous warmth and emotional depth.” Recent solo highlights include a program of Dowland’s lute songs with Howard Bass on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, tenor roles in Purcell’s Fairy Queen at the Rutgers-Camden Theater under the direction of Julianne Baird, and the Handel oratorios Esther and L’Allegro, il Penseroso, ed il Moderato at the American Bach Soloists Festival in San Francisco. Jason has also performed Bach’s B-Minor Mass and numerous Bach cantatas with the Washington Bach Consort, the Mozart Requiem and Salieri Requiem with the Bach Sinfonia, and Bach cantatas 4 and 106 with Mountainside Baroque. This season, he appeared with Third Practice in Monteverdi's Vespers 1610 and with the New Dominion Chorale in the Beveridge Advent Cantata. Jason has performed in numerous young artist programs including the Amherst Early Music Festival, Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute, and Queen’s College Baroque Opera Project.
